Chief Executive
The Deep
Hull
Salary circa
£100,000
The Deep is the most
commercially successful of all the Millennium landmark projects. Designed by
Sir Terry Farrell, The
Deep visitor attraction opened in 2002 and has to date welcomed over 6,000,000 visitors becoming an
icon of success and triggering a renaissance in its home City of Hull. The
facility also includes a
successful business centre catering to knowledge-based industries.
Powered by this
commercial success, The Deep has established itself as a respected educational
and environmental
charity and a genuine force in marine conservation. It has chaired and hosted
the Net Gain project which
established a network of Marine Conservation Zones along the East Coast and continues to work on
projects from Coral propagation to Shark and Ray conservation in the Sudan, alongside Equipe
Cousteau. A new and unique partnership with the IUCN Red List has also recently been pioneered.
A member of BIAZA,
EAZA and the Eco Attractions Group, The Deep represents a new sustainable relationship between
Hull and the oceans.
With the current
Chief Executive, Colin Brown, retiring this is an exciting opportunity to lead
an organisation of
regional, national and international significance through the next phase of its development.
The Chief Executive
will provide effective and inspirational leadership to the visitor attraction,
the business centre and
to the charity their income supports. They will provide proposals for The
Deep`s longer term plans
and strategies as well as providing leadership to the Senior Management Team.
They will inspire,
motivate and engage the “Crew” of the Deep and develop constructive
relationships with other
stakeholders notably Kingston upon Hull`s City Council, the University of Hull,
our staff and the wider city. They
will attend a monthly Trustees’ meeting and work closely with the Chair and individual Trustees
as required.
The role requires
someone with both well rounded operational management skills and the ability to
take a strategic lead. It
requires excellent people skills, an entrepreneurial spirit and an
understanding of how this needs to be
tempered in a charitable setting.
They will be able to
communicate effectively with a wide range of customers, staff and stakeholders articulating a clear
and compelling vision for this unique organisation.
They will share our
commitment to excellence and to our charitable aims.
